The Jungle Tribe that Time forgot….
This article was interesting because we found a tribe that could have lived hundreds of years ago and they still have not changed. They were unusual because they painted themselves with red paint and dressed only in animal skins. It is interesting to find a tribe in the Amazon Rainforest of South America in 2008 when other tribes in South America stopped hundreds of years ago. These people have never touched people from out of their tribe and have lived without other people. They have not seen technology before. The weaponry they used was related to the weaponry that the aborigines used. The way they acted and sheltered was interesting because it was the way their ancestors sheltered.
